"The beginning of the film is simply brilliant: An advertising spot (narrated by the voice of Hugo Silva) puts us squarely at the time. Then, by a great traveling backward, the camera leaves the spot leaving it located on a movie screen, placing us in a movie theater to end up in a close - up of our protagonist, Henry (played by British actor James D'Arcy)."

"Gernika" is a remarkable film, which aims to show the barbarity of war, where there are neither winners nor losers ... only victims and destruction; similarly, that pays tribute to those journalists who risk their lives to tell the world the truth about the absurd contention ... journalists as Robert Capa and Ernest Hemingway (both cited in the film) or George Lowther Steer, the first and only journalist who told the world what happened, risking his place in the New York Times ... and the character of Henry Howell shares many of its features."

"The strength and originality of the film resides in showing a blitz through the romance between journalists and not only among themselves, but of their love towards their profession. A romance that takes strength from the interpretations of Maria Valverde - a calm, thoughtful and hard character - and James D'Arcy - the typical Yankee socarrón charming -."

"Not only Valverde and D'Arcy are correct in their interpretations, but also the rest of the cast highlighting the fact amply solve their actions defending a script written in Spanish, English, German and Basque resulting credible and authentic."

"We want to highlight the great work of the art equipment and production ; and it has been recreated to perfection that Spain 1937. Moreover, here are convinced that Gernika await two separate awards for this great work worthy of recognition. Note the masterful soundtrack by Fernando Velazquez , who made his film debut with the first over Serra, backwoods , which accompanies the most delicate moments of the tape."
